Tyntesfield — garden view with arcade or cloister (near Wraxall, North Somerset). Designed by John Norton (after 1863), Arthur William Blomfield (1870s), Henry Woodyer (1880s).
According to Simon Jenkins' delightfully idyiosyncratic, often witty, and always informative England's Thousand Best Houses,

The house emerges from a fold in the
Mendip foothills overlooking its own valley.
Ramparts of rhododendron and azalea part to
offer glimpses of Gothic grey. Turrets, pinnacles and gables loom through trees. Lichen
clings to rust-stained windows. The house
exterior is of the sort that Thomas Warton
described in his lines, 'Lead me. Queen
Sublime, to solemn glooms/ Congenial with
my soul; to cheerless shades,/ To ruin'd seats,
to twilight cells and bowers.'

The building was remodelled from an 1813
house by John Norton in 1863, with additions
by Henry Woodyer in 1885 and the magnificent
chapel [the largest private-house chapel in in England] by Sir Arthur Blomfield. Its plan is relatively symmetrical, although not its exterior
appearance. This is in the most romantic
Gothic style. It survives as built, except for the
loss of a once soaring tower over the entrance
porch.

The entrance faces the drive, but the main
rooms face south over the park. The facades all
have Gothic windows, Tudor oriels, chimneys
and attic dormers. The building material is
grey and even on the sunniest day the effect
is severe.
